D'amico's is a nice and rustic cafe situated within the Rice Village shopping district. The market serves up some hearty and authentic Italian style food. I came in here recently on a weekend night and it was quite busy. Luckily, the service was prompt, and it didnt take too long to get a seat. My sister and I were greeted kindly and were offered thick slices of bread which we doused with some olive oil. I had a craving for gnocchi, so I went ahead and ordered the potato gnocchi with pesto. My sister ordered the angel hair with eggplant and capers which was served with a hearty tomato sauce. I forgot the exact name of her dish, but it was tasty. I enjoyed my gnocchi as well. It was served with a brilliant green pesto sauce that complimented the dish nicely. I love the feel of the market and how it is packed with goodies and food ingredients from Italy. The environment is stuffed with people and stacked with items all around. Nonetheless, the market is comfortable and warm inside. I'm looking forward in trying out the gelato and various other desserts next time around. Overall, this cafe offers a variety within their food selection and its definitely a place worth trying.
